Boy Meets Girl: Say Hello to Courtship

A delightful journey into the world of courtship and the very individual people who participate in it. I love the fact that Mr. Harris brings to the surface examples of real people whose stories differ widely from each other, but yet cling to the foundational concepts of purity, holiness and wisdom. :)

This was VERY helpful...
It talks about what GOD wants in a relationship, not what PEOPLE want...
Cause after all a marriage is all about glorifying God
Courtship is all about building a greater friendship, and determining whether or not you would like to get married... its not physical or emotionally draining like dating is.
You don't actually court until you're old enough to actually start thinking about marriage... it is a serious thing.
This book told me how courting can be the best thing for you and your love interest... and how you can guard your heart, as well as the other persons heart, and think what would be best for them... but most of all, what would glorify Jesus Christ.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is thinking about marriage, or has been burned by dating and is looking for something worth while to do with the person you love
:D

Refreshing look at courtship and romance. I think the key things I got reminded about from reading this book is to guard and grow in friendship, fellowship and romance. More importantly, it's not about idolising marriage by pressing towards it forced-ly. Courtship and marriage is another stage of life that still teaches us the same thing - to depend on the Lord more and more and love Him.

While this focuses on courtship relationships, I feel this book is a wonderful challenge for all individuals to pursue God and His plan passionately first. When we place God as first in every area of our lives (including our love lives) He is able to give us the most wonderful and romantic love story ever and guide us through the ins and outs of what is often seems difficult and confusing. Harris covers a number of topics, which I felt gave practical examples of situations that modern day Christian couples face. In the newer edition, the Courtship Conversations are extremely helpful, especially if you are already in a relationship and want ideas on how to spark talk about essentials. Overall, I found it to offer a great framework for how a godly relationship leading to marriage should be pursued and maintained. I definitely recommend it!

This is an excellent book for anyone who is thinking of getting into a relationship. Very humorous while being very solid. A must read!

If you agreed with the first book 100%, you will LOVE this book. If you gleamed the great principles from the first book without buying his methodology entirely, then you may find this book slightly lacking. Either way, a great book. Well written. Christ centered. I enjoyed the first volume a lot more, though this was the inevitable and likely needed follow-up.

I loved this book. I am glad that I took the time to read it-- I needed to see the whole picture of what the decision to wait on God--instead of jumpoing blindly into a relationship--can do for a person spiritually and relationally

This is a great book for any Christian young person in or about to enter a relationship. Joshua Harris has matured a lot since his first book "I Kissed Dating Goodbye," and is a lot clearer on some of his opinions presented. It is very practical and brings a reality check to the emotional highs in a relationship.

a great book teaching great principles...would reccomend it to every Christian couple who are planning to get married and want to build a God-glorifying family...

"Boy Meets Girl: Say Hello to Courtship," by Joshua Harris, was such a blessing to read. It really gave me a new-found respect for my future husband and a desire to honor him with my actions even before I meet him. It also was a great reminder as to the roles men and women have in relationships and the importance to follow God's direction through the whole process. Overall, I learned so much from this book! Praise the Lord!
